Third camping trip of the year: A week of many shifts!
We just got back from our third camping trip of the year (June 9-16) and I know I said that the last one was one of the best weeks of my life well now i’m going to say that this one was! Every new camping experience seems to be better than the last & after over a month of no camping due to having too many photography projects and editing to do, this last trip couldn’t have come soon enough…
Reunited with her Tomato
This past Sunday Nixie got reunited with her sweet Tomato. Ever since the last time she got to ride her she hasn't stopped talking about her.

Right after I woke up this morning I felt the strongest pull to go to the woods, i thought being outside would be good for both of us. Whenever i feel a bit low, I know that the best place for me is the woods. It always restores me in some way and gives me exactly what i need…
